No, I was never on any other neuroleptics.
You're lucky, but I wouldn't count on Zyprexa being so safe in regards to TD. I met a woman who got it from Zyprexa. That's why I'm weaning off of it.
> Have you been on any other anti-psychotics (neuroleptics) in the past? Sometimes TD manifests itself even after discontinuation of the older meds. Zyprexa, an atypical AP, generally has a reputation for causing little in the way of TD...but you can never be entirely sure. I take Z and have been lucky so far. Perhaps someone who has had experience with TD can comment on your symptoms.
